'Reflections on EU diplomacy' - a fireside discussion with Ambassador Serrano
This week, in partnership with the Centre of European Reform (CER), the Delegation hosted a fireside event with Ambassador Serrano in conversation with the CER's Ian Bond to reflect back on the Ambassador's diplomatic career and to weigh up the current status of EU-UK relations.
Europe House was delighted to welcome a full house for a look back at Ambassador Serrano's long career as a Spanish and European diplomat followed by a fascinating conversation on the future of Europe and the EU-UK partnership.

As Ambassador Serrano prepares to conclude his mandate this autumn, this special event, held under the Chatham House rule, offered an opportunity to reflect on more than four decades of diplomacy, the evolution of the European External Action Service since its launch in 2010, and the changing dynamics of the EU-UK relationship.
Many thanks to the Centre for European Reform for partnering with us on this engaging discussion, and to everyone who joined us
